Battery Testing

Does anyone have a good way to test a battery? I know there's a battery load tester, which I think tests for the internal resistance of the battery.

I think, that usually a battery is bad when it has a lot of internal resistance and when it can't hold a 'full' charge anymore, correct me if I'm wrong or missing anything.

Can someone explain to me how the Load Tester tests the battery, I have experience in ac and dc circuits and I think I have an idea of how they do it.
